I'm not the type to give a fiddler's fart about what the general public thinks.
So my thick headed skull clearly misread "It is also my chance to take a stab at the general public." Doesn't matter if the general public ignore, well anyone.
All I'm saying is I don't think that it is news. It's just marketing. The NYT is twenty years behind the times, kudos wise. Lots of us have been reading and buying and writing about him. Fay Weldon, Kingsley Amis, Fredric Jameson, Stanislaw Lem, Jean Baudrillard. I see you your Library of America in 2007, and I raise you the Institute of Contemporary Arts commemorating the anniversary of his death in 1992.
I hope you get round to reading some PKD. It's good stuff. Then you can share in the we at the end of your piece.
And I'll share something with you that has helped me: don't look for the approval of people whose opinions you don't respect.
